Hurlburt Is really alive, and At the present
time IN an insane asylum Ia that State. Ac-
cording TO the story given Mrs H. after the
shipwreck he reached an island where he
remained among the Indians for number
OF years, when vessel took him ashore.
The terrible catastrophe had beref: him OF

placed In the asylum In California. The
information seemed to be well enough au

It is proposed to establisha reform school
in Oregon. One Is needed. All progress
i've States should have one. If established
it should be built at some other place than
Salem. This statement is not made from a
spirit of rivalry but, because the system Of
placing State buildings in different parts Of
the State is good one. They should not
be concentrated in one place, and arc not
in the leading States. In New York State
for instance, the Capitol is about all Albany

Tees Proven.

Last Sabbath one OF the younger genera
ton of Knox boys skated with his straps
drawn too tightly around his toes. That
fact combined with the Iowness of the mer-
curry in the thermometer resulted in two Of
his toes being frozen. The fact that any
ones toes should be frozen in Oregon is hui
initiating. Il speaks, though, more for the
tenderness of our toes, than for the icyncss
Of the weather. 40 above zero never should
freeze anything but vegetables and choice
plants.
